I stay in Marquette park right on the outskirts of Englewood. Although this neighborhood is portrayed in mainly a negative way, I've had a very positive experience throughout my 17 years of living here. It's very quiet here, and though of course there is crime from time to time, I've only once experienced anything. I'm able to walk around the block and come back home safely or walk to the nearest Walgreens and come back untouched. The only downside to living here is how quiet it is like I mentioned previously. I barely have relationships with my neighbors, I don't know any kids my age, it's just very disconnected here. Which isn't the greatest because a strong community is a united community. If something serious was to occur, would we be able to come together and stand with one another? Speak for one another? That worries me. But nonetheless, I love my neighborhood! I wouldn't mind staying here for the rest of my life!
Overall Englewood is a solid neighborhood. It's a predominately thriving African American neighborhood with multiple new stores being built. The Kennedy King Community College students gives the community some diversity. People from all over Chicago are able to attend, giving other ethnicities the chance to interact with the neighborhood with the few outlet malls the neighborhood has. Starting this year, Englewood had it's first free Englewood Music Festival. It was a huge success.
Englewood is a poor community where low class, middle-class people reside. I dislike almost everything about this neighborhood. The only good things I see is the church around the corner from my home feeding the homeless every Saturday morning and the new and improved school for the community. However, people, including me, have a hard time feeling safe outside- whether it's going to the store, walking to school, the park or even to your car, you are putting your life at risk. The crime rates are very high and there are predominately black people and few Mexicans that live in this area. Mostly people with low income are struggling to deal with the violence and unemployment and I wish it could change. Englewood needs more diversity, job opportunities and crime control.
